dellos9_config - Manage Dell OS9 configuration sections

New in version 2.2.

Synopsis

Dell OS9 configurations use a simple block indent file syntax for segmenting configuration into sections. This module provides an implementation for working with Dell OS9 configuration sections in a deterministic way.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
after
 no
The ordered set of commands to append to the end of the command stack if a change needs to be made. Just like with before this allows the playbook designer to append a set of commands to be executed after the command set.
auth_pass
 no none
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead.
authorize
 no
  • yes
  • no
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead.
backup
 no
  • yes
  • no
This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current running-config from the remote device before any changes are made. The backup file is written to the backup folder in the playbook root directory. If the directory does not exist, it is created.
before
 no
The ordered set of commands to push on to the command stack if a change needs to be made. This allows the playbook designer the opportunity to perform configuration commands prior to pushing any changes without affecting how the set of commands are matched against the system.
config
 no
The config argument allows the playbook designer to supply the base configuration to be used to validate configuration changes necessary. If this argument is provided, the module will not download the running-config from the remote node.
host
 yes
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
lines
 no
The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. The commands must be the exact same commands as found in the device running-config. Be sure to note the configuration command syntax as some commands are automatically modified by the device config parser. This argument is mutually exclusive with src.
aliases: commands
match
 no line
  • line
  • strict
  • exact
  • none
Instructs the module on the way to perform the matching of the set of commands against the current device config. If match is set to line, commands are matched line by line. If match is set to strict, command lines are matched with respect to position. If match is set to exact, command lines must be an equal match. Finally, if match is set to none, the module will not attempt to compare the source configuration with the running configuration on the remote device.
parents
 no
The ordered set of parents that uniquely identify the section the commands should be checked against. If the parents argument is omitted, the commands are checked against the set of top level or global commands.
password
 no
Password to authenticate the SSH session to the remote device. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
port
 no 22
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
provider
 no
Convenience method that allows all dellos9 arguments to be passed as a dict object. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict.
replace
 no line
  • line
  • block
Instructs the module on the way to perform the configuration on the device. If the replace argument is set to line then the modified lines are pushed to the device in configuration mode. If the replace argument is set to block then the entire command block is pushed to the device in configuration mode if any line is not correct.
save
 no
  • yes
  • no
The save argument instructs the module to save the running- config to the startup-config at the conclusion of the module running. If check mode is specified, this argument is ignored.
src
 no
Specifies the source path to the file that contains the configuration or configuration template to load. The path to the source file can either be the full path on the Ansible control host or a relative path from the playbook or role root dir. This argument is mutually exclusive with lines.
ssh_keyfile
 no
Path to an ssh key used to authenticate the SSH session to the remote device. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.
timeout
 no 10
Specifies idle timeout (in seconds) for the connection. Useful if the console freezes before continuing. For example when saving configurations.
update
 no merge
  • merge
  • check
The update argument controls how the configuration statements are processed on the remote device. Valid choices for the update argument are merge and check. When the argument is set to merge, the configuration changes are merged with the current device running configuration. When the argument is set to check the configuration updates are determined but not actually configured on the remote device.
username
 no
User to authenticate the SSH session to the remote device. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.

Examples

- dellos9_config:
    lines: ['hostname {{ inventory_hostname }}']
    provider: "{{ cli }}"

- dellos9_config:
    lines:
      - 10 permit ip host 1.1.1.1 any log
      - 20 permit ip host 2.2.2.2 any log
      - 30 permit ip host 3.3.3.3 any log
      - 40 permit ip host 4.4.4.4 any log
      - 50 permit ip host 5.5.5.5 any log
    parents: ['ip access-list extended test']
    before: ['no ip access-list extended test']
    match: exact
    provider: "{{ cli }}"

- dellos9_config:
    lines:
      - 10 permit ip host 1.1.1.1 any log
      - 20 permit ip host 2.2.2.2 any log
      - 30 permit ip host 3.3.3.3 any log
      - 40 permit ip host 4.4.4.4 any log
    parents: ['ip access-list extended test']
    before: ['no ip access-list extended test']
    replace: block
    provider: "{{ cli }}"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Common Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
saved Returns whether the configuration is saved to the startup configuration or not. when not check_mode bool True
updates The set of commands that will be pushed to the remote device always list ['...', '...']
responses The set of responses from issuing the commands on the device when not check_mode list ['...', '...']

Notes

Note

This module requires Dell OS9 version 9.10.0.1P13 or above.

Note

This module requires to increase the ssh connection rate limit. Use the following command ip ssh connection-rate-limit 60 to configure the same. This can be done via dnos_config module as well.
